Ben Lomond, CA – March 13, 2024 – Mountain Community Theater (MCT) is thrilled to announce the debut of its 2024 season with two exciting productions of Neil Simon’s timeless classic, The Odd Couple, presented in repertoire. MCT is offering both the new version which Simon wrote in 1987, with Olive and Florence (“The Odd Couple: Female Version”) and his revised male version from 2002 (“Oscar and Felix: A New Look at The Odd Couple”). Each provides a new perspective on this beloved, if dysfunctional, pair of characters. Together they allow audiences a unique opportunity to compare and enjoy the differences in Simon’s iconic plays.
Directed by Steven Phillips and Simon Hayward, seasoned directors with a deep appreciation for Neil Simon’s works, these productions showcase the talent and creativity of MCT’s dedicated team of performers, craftsmen, and artists. Phillips, who has long been a fan of Neil Simon’s plays, expressed his excitement about bringing this vision of Oscar and Felix to the stage, stating, “Neil Simon’s wit and humor have always resonated with me, and I am thrilled to share these modern interpretations of The Odd Couple with our audiences.”
“The Odd Couple: Female Version” premieres March 22, at 8:00 PM, and “Oscar and Felix: A New Look at the Odd Couple” premieres March 23rd at 8:00 PM, both at Park Hall in Ben Lomond.
